18-6 penalty count against Leinster. Really got in wrong side of referee, especially in first half. Penny decision probably balanced out his fairly harsh yellow in first half.

Soroka robbed of the MOTM. Came up with key line out turnovers as well as the opening try.

Scott Penny very lucky there. Very lucky. Another inconsistent decision.

Baffled by how these turnovers are being awarded. Clearly no release there.

Referee aside, Leinster are playing g a game that suits Dragons. The lack of cutting edge in the attack continues to be a huge concern.

He really doesn’t want to show a card to Dragons.

And another scrum penalty against Dragons and despite earlier warning no card shown. Quite card happy though for Leinster infringments #DRAvLEI

Dragons’ scrum down again. Surely time for the South African ref to think about getting a card out for one of their props. Have to reward the dominant scrum. Right? #DRAvLEI

Pollock is eventually going to get slotted by someone. The sooner the better. Needs to grow up.

Hard to argue with the red if *IF* the ref had been consistent.
Ryan was stupid but no less reckless than the “tackle” that Carley felt was only a penalty.

Crowley’s kicking from hand continues to be a big issue. Two efforts. Two poor outcomes.

Another problematic decision. Cannot understand how a deliberate attempt to injure a player with a kick is mitigated down. Basically a reward for failing to inflict damage with the boot. Simply no place in the game for deliberately kicking at a player. #WALvARG

Attack has looked much more fluid with Prendergast on.

That’s all down to Prendergast’s line kick. Lenihan giving the credit to the lineout predictably. No a mention of how good the kick was.

The difference with Prendergast on. The quality of his flat passes.

Ireland’s lineout failures are not down to individual errors. It’s a system issue. That’s on O’Connell.

The Paul O’Connell line out control be a shambles.

Missed kick at goal and then Crowley getting caught in possession and penalised. Lead to field position for NZ try. Game pivoted around those.

Good cover from Lowe. Right decision to put boot to ball. Don’t want to get caught in possession there like Crowley did.
